How nice you have a friend that shares your hobby ;)<br /><br />Marysol, at least I didn't call you nutty or fruity - LOL!

But, I'll forgive anything for a bite of that candy.<br /><br />Susan, I covet your elegant silver collection! I have only a few of those pieces pictured. Unfortunately, my silver pieces were found mostly at auctions, and estate sales. <br />Nothing as beautiful has ever been passed down to me.

I have a lot of Unger Brothers pieces and am always on the lookout for it. A friend collects Charles II so we search together.<br /><br />Absolutely adore your Towle Canterbury spoon. The design on the back is wonderful. It's such fun to use serving pieces like yours!<br /><br />Your little chunky pieces of heaven are to die for.

I have silver from both of my grandmothers, and two of my great-grandmothers (I'm the only one that likes to polish it). We also have lots of silver from Dan's family. Quite a lot to polish...<br /><br />Chunkies! I remember these. I loved the ones with raisins in too. The addition of pistachios and cranberries makes this very grown up.Kate at Serendipityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020909094072158951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559496255453564057.post-52806545966104488072010-02-01T22:10:10.355-06:002010-02-01T22:10:10.355-06:00Love the jeweled bits - yum!Love the jeweled bits - yum!Cate O'Malleyhttp://www.sweetnicks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559496255453564057.post-25950500676622844992010-02-01T20:50:47.090-06:002010-02-01T20:50:47.090-06:00What a lovely and nostalgic post, I have a drawerf...What a lovely and nostalgic post, I have a drawerful of silver serving pieces that my mother left me, and I haven't really stopped to examine them...now I will.

They are all so unique. I know they must remind you of your mother too! <br /><br />If the olive fork markings are engraved try rubbing something on it that will get into the grooves. Sometimes its easier to read that way. I've never tried it on silver, but its a trick I read and tried years ago to see engravings on tombstones and buildings - use shaving cream. Seems like the princible would apply to silver too..use something that would provide a contrast. <br /><br />Chunkys were a fav of mine too. And later Cadbury Fruit and Nut bar.Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02640399220998723380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559496255453564057.post-42390002199726133402010-01-31T16:54:44.467-06:002010-01-31T16:54:44.467-06:00You totally had me at the Chocolate ~ Thanks for t...You totally had me at the Chocolate ~ Thanks for the Recipe, I use to Love Chunky bars, haven't had one in 30 years.....
